Cambois Stickers

Cambois is a former mining village in South East Northumberland situated between the mouth of the River Wansbeck in the north and the estuary of the River Blyth in the south. There has been a settlement in Cambois since medieval times but the village had its heyday in the middle of the nineteenth century with the establishment of Cambois Colliery. A lot of the spoil from the colliery ended upon the beach but with the end of mining, the beach is now pristine and very popular with dog walkers. This image was taken just after daybreak on a cold January morning.

Cambois is a small community almost cut off from the rest of the county by the River Blyth on one side and the North Sea on the other. It boasts a lovely quiet beach which is much loved by fishermen and dog walkers alike. This image was taken on a February morning looking south towards the storage silos and the wind turbine on the bank of the river.
